Real Betis travel to Italy this afternoon to face Inter Milan in their final pre-season clash at the San Nicola stadium in Bari. Manuel Pellegrini has called up 22 players for the match, though two prominent names remain in Andalusia.
Staying behind
Gio Lo Celso and Ezequiel Abde are not making the trip to Italy as originally planned, using the time instead to complete their final preparations ahead of the league debut. Morante misses out due to muscle discomfort, while long-term absentees Diego Conde and Aitor Ruibal also stay put. According to MARCA, Gonzalo Petit remains in limbo regarding his future.
The squad is completed by Álvaro Valles, Manu González, Bellerín, Ángel Ortiz, Natan, Bartra, Diego Llorente, Valentín Gómez, Fran García, Junior, Marc Roca, Facundo Bernal, Gnangoro, Fornals, Fidalgo, Isco, Iker Losada, Antony, Pablo García, Riquelme, Deossa and Cucho Hernández. Young academy product Gnangoro is the sole youth-team player joining the first team.
